Step By Step: Acing Your Application

Extracurricular Activities

Myth: The more extracurriculars, the better.

Truth: Admissions officers are looking to build a well-rounded class, not a class of well-rounded students. Colleges want students who are passionate and excel at what they do, even if they aren’t involved in everything. Activities that show leadership and dedication to community look particularly good on an application.
